You have looked at dozens of bridal magazines and hundreds of dresses and finally you’ve found a couple that they really like. Now what? Head off to a bridal shop with pictures of the dresses you are interested in buying. There are a few questions you need to ask before looking at your first dress. Find out, do you have to make an appointment to try on dresses? Does the store carry dresses that fit your budget? Can they order the dress you found in a magazine? Will they allow you to browse the whole collection or are you limited to what they choose to show you? Once these questions have been answered and you have found a dress that you really like, there are more questions to be asked. Can this neckline be altered to a scoop neck instead of a vee? Can the dress be held for 24 hours while I give it some thought? Then go home and relax, go back in 24 hours and see if you still love it. If so then put down the deposit.
If on the other hand you don’t like a dress, but your mom or friend loves it , again wait 24 hours and then go back for another look. If you still hate it don’t buy it. It is your wedding and you won’t be happy if you don’t feel beautiful. After you have chosen the dress, the seamstress will measure your bust, waist hips and waist to floor length, and then will let you know what alterations will be needed. Just about every dress needs some alterations. You will need to go in for fittings at least two or three times.
If alterations are needed, what is the cost? Ask for a written estimate for the alterations. If a shop wont give you an estimate, run don’t walk to another shop. Also ask if you buy the bridesmaids dresses there, will they give you free or discounted alterations. Also find out if you can get a rush on the dress if necessary. You will also want to know if the dress is in stock or does it have to be ordered? Can you “borrow” your dress for a formal portrait and then bring it back for a final pressing? Pay with a credit card, that way you can dispute the charges, if a problem arises.
Next you have to choose the headpiece and veil to go with your dress. The type of veil you depends on the style of your dress. Veils come in several styles and lengths. You wouldn’t want a Cathedral veil if you are wearing a simple street length dress. By the same token, you won’t want a shoulder length, fly away wispy veil if you are wearing a formal gown with a long train.
When the wedding is over, what do you do with that beautiful expensive dress? Ask the bridal shop or wedding consultant, for the name of a reliable gown preservationist. The preservationist will clean the gown, then wrap it in acid-free tissue paper, or white cotton muslin and then place it in an acid free box. You can expect to pay between 200
and 400 dollars for this service. Be wary of someone who asks you to sign a disclaimer, saying they are not responsible for damage done to the dress during cleaning. Only place your dress in the hands of a preservationist who will give you a written guarantee.

Simple. The task becomes easier if you know the likes and dislikes of the couple. If you don’t know then a little inquiry with the family and friends could give you clues about the preferences of the bride and the groom. That would be fantastic, as the recipients would be overwhelmed with happiness for the thoughtfulness shown by the gift giver. Though the market is filled with regular wedding gifts, it’s always better to take a little extra effort and gift something that’s personal to the couple.
The regular wedding gifts are baskets of chocolates, flowers, wine bottles, cakes, perfume bottles, flower basket for the bride, bridal jewelry, neckties and watches for the groom etc… Photo frames and albums, dinner sets, candle stands, flower vases, crystal champagne flutes, jewelry boxes, pen stands etc. are some more items that constitute part of wedding gift list.

Those who cannot do that can choose from a number of gift items mentioned above that are available in the stores.

So you’re writing your own marriage vows.
But unlike picking the photographer, you can’t just let the experts handle it.
Well, you could. But you decided to do it yourself.
Where do you begin? How do you put it down on paper?
Use the following tips to unlock your inner vow-maker.
Study The Classics
Do you want completely new vows?
Or a more personalized version of an old favorite?
Using an existing format is much easier than starting from scratch. You can rewrite the words. Or add a few extra sentences.
Investigate vows from other cultures to get more ideas.
Writing your vows from scratch? Here are some suggestions.
Declare Your Love
This is a marriage. Be romantic.
Your vows don’t have to be poetry. Write a simple “John, you’re the most wonderful man I’ve ever met, and I love you.” It’s moving.
Or you could mention a defining moment in your history together:
“Ever since the time you [whatever it was] I knew you were the one for me.”
If you’re still drawing a blank, list your fiancée’s good points.
“John, you’re the kindest, most loving man I’ve ever met.”
Words of Commitment
You’ve declared your love in your vows. Now say how long you plan on sticking to the marriage.
Here are some examples:
“I promise to walk through life with you.”
“I promise to stick with you through the good times and bad.”
Special Circumstances
Are there step-children? Consider including them in your marriage vows.
“I promise to love your children as if they were my own.”
Draw up a list of values you share. Are you religious? Are you dedicated to a cause? Is there anything you would like to vow to do together?
Humor
Hey, it’s your wedding. Liven up your vows if you want.
Just don’t turn the marriage into a big joke.
One joke per person will make your wedding memorable yet dignified.
Don’t get too specific. There is such a thing as too much information.
And don’t promise anything you don’t want to do.
Your spouse might hold you to it!
Examples of marriage-safe vows:
“I promise to share the remote sometimes.”
“I promise to cook at least once every ten years.”
Remember: Hedge hedge hedge.
Keep It Short
In marriage it’s better to vow less and deliver more. Ditto for your wedding.
You might forget long vows during the ceremony. And who wants to go up there with a big sheet of paper?
Writing your own marriage vows is an intense experience. But it doesn’t have to make you crazy. Use these tips and you’ll cover your bases. And create beautiful, personal vows. Even if you aren’t Shakespeare.

The Tallinn Bureau of Tourism invites tourists to ‘Feel the touch of Tallinn’, a unique city that’s a blend of modern flash with medieval dash. From castles and cobbled streets to sizzling nightclubs in futuristic glass skyscrapers, the city of Tallinnn, Estonia, boasts something for everyone that visits.
For the lucky fellow that gets to plan a stag party in Tallinn, the city offers unique attractions that you won’t find just anywhere. Tallinn boasts a nightlife that’s bursting at the seams with exciting and rousing live entertainment. A Tallinn stag party nightclub crawl can count on partying till the wee hours of the morning - and later. On Friday and Saturday nights, the night doesn’t stop till the sun is up in most clubs. An absolute must on the nightclub circuit is the Venus Club, where onstage go-go dancers keep the action lively and regular theme nights contribute to the surreal atmosphere.
For those stags with a taste for the sophisticated, no Tallinn stag party is complete without an after dinner visit to one of the more unique entertainments available in Tallinn - a cigar lounge. You can start off the evening of debauchery with a deceptively staid puff and brandy in the toney surroundings of a gentleman’s club… then move on to the night’s real business of downing all the intoxicating potions one can manage while ogling the onstage - and in lap - talent at one of Tallinn’s famed lap dance and strip clubs.
Daytime Tallinn stag party options are no less varied and exciting. You can take to the tracks at the FK Center in karts, or stalk your mates in a furious game of paintball or laser tag. If you’re looking to really scare the starch out of your about-to-be shanghai’d mate, you can even arrange a real shanghai with the help of a licensed tour operator. Give the stag a taste of prison by arranging to have him and the entire party captured by the ‘official’ police and taken to old Tallinn prison for a realistic experience that you’ll never forget.
Captured in Tallinn is just one example of a unique Tallin stag party activity that a professional tour operator can help you arrange.
